Default Import from phpBB 2.0.19 with Able2Know SEO and eCardMAX HotEditor to vBulletin 3.5.4

I've been using phpBB2 for years, but I've decided to bite the bullet and migrate to vBulletin. I have two major mods that will need to be transitioned somehow:

1) I have Able2Know.com's SEO mod installed, so all my URLs are in the form of /article###.html
More info: http://www.able2know.com/forums/about15132.html

2) I use the HotEditor rich text editor from eCardMAX.com, so some of my posts have HTML code in them, while others don't
More info: http://www.ecardmax.com/index.php?step=Hoteditor2phpbb

I also have a cash mod installed, but I'm ready to ditch that because it's complex and not really needed now that the forum is active and established.

So I seek help from you for concerns #1 and #2. The SEO mod uses .htaccess and a few PHP edits to several phpBB files. Is there a vBulletin equivalent? How would I transition my old URLs to avoid breaking anything, including SE rankings and inbound links?

For #2, I ran ImpEx and unfortunately the HTML didn't transfer. It's very non-standard, I think.

I want to make sure stylized posts are imported in a reasonable manner (not with tons of nonsense symbols all over them). For example, I'm looking at an imported post at the moment that looks like:
Quote:
#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Hello there,#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#We need help in promoting our company site in Google.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#We would like to hire a proffesional working on FreeLancer bases
I tried cleaner.php with these settings for $replacer:
Code:
"#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#" => "",
"#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#" => "\n",
It went through all the posts, but looking at the actual posts now, it looks like it had absolutely no effect at all. The example post I showed above looks exactly, character-for-character, the same as before. Any suggestions?

By the way, that example post should end up looking like:
Quote:
Hello there,
We need help in promoting our company site in Google.
We would like to hire a proffesional working on FreeLancer bases
(Yeah, there's no special formatting here.)

Got a fix I can try? Is there anything I'm missing?

Thank you!
